Talk:Max Martin/Archive 1

Maratone
I think Maratone should have its own page with links to Max Martin etc. Maratone and Max Martin are two separate things, and there are more people working at Marataone than Martin.

Poppycock!
I think the following is either unsuitably vague or just patently false:

'The producers at Cheiron had almost the opposite of the producer role of the late '60s, when an artist would write the songs and then hire a producer to help shape the sound. At Cheiron the producers wrote the songs, played the instruments, engineered and mixed the recordings and the artist was only brought in near the end of the process'

whoever wrote this has obviously never heard of Motown, Stax, or any other Pop oriented production house (with the singular exception of the Beatles and George Martin). The vocalist has traditionally been brought in when necessary in American Pop. I can't fathom what this person was talking about!

Kesha
His work with Kesha (Ke$ha) Sebert needs to be added. - 67.174.94.95 (talk) 07:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Max Martin
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Max Martin's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "announce": From Criminal (Britney Spears song):  From Inside Out (Britney Spears song):  From (Drop Dead) Beautiful:  From Oops!... I Did It Again World Tour:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 01:44, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Picture
I find it a bit odd that while there are pictures of Katy Perry and Brittney Spears, there is no picture of Martin. I'm assuming the people who compiled this page actually kind of like the guy. If your an editor of this page and also a fan/respect this extremely succesful producer, why not put HIS picture up instead of people who have numerous pictures of themselves up on wikipedia and elsewhere. Just a thought. Tominrochester (talk) 14:49, 20 January 2013 (UTC)tominrochesterTominrochester (talk) 14:49, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Tominrochester, it's too hard to find his picture from any sources. I attempted to do this, but it fails because there is an issue about copyright. I forgot the source on that. I will just update the pictures of Katy Perry and Britney Spears as well as Kesha and Taylor Swift if necessary. Pinas Central 05:34, September 5, 2013‎

Too many songs in the introduction
Do all of his 17 US number one hits really need to be listed in the introduction? It would be much better reading if someone chose the five biggest hits and skipped the rest. Aikclaes (talk) 19:03, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Also, there are more than 17 songs there. Qwertydivora (talk) 21:38, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Several of those songs (the Jessie J songs, "Wide Awake" and "The One That Got Away," maybe others) weren't even #1 on Billboard (in the US, at least). I'd just excise them/move them to the next sentence, but the article has an embedded "see talk page before changing this list" message, so. The list as it currently stands is clunky and incorrect. It needs to be changed. I will probably change it in the near future. The "don't change this list without discussion" message is ridiculous and should probably be changed.

 * The "don't change this list without discussion" message is there because without it people just keep adding tons of songs, which they have done anyway. Aikclaes (talk) 14:00, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Actually it's 19 #1s written. Shake It Off debuts at #1 this week, and "It's Gonna Be Me" by N-SYNC.--dnsla23 02:14, 30 August 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dnsla (talk • contribs)

Difference in writing and producing #1 songs
Hi. Martin was the co-writer of "It's Gonna Be Me" by N'SYNC, but he didn't produce it.

So he has 20 #1s written and 19 #1s produced.

I don't have a good source for it, other than checking out the "It's Gonna Be Me" wiki page.--dnsla23 03:32, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
